Why is it okay for missionaries to lie?

[Ironside]

It is definitely possible for people to be raised from the dead. Why would you suggest that this is not possible? I think it will become likely as we continue to attain more knowledge of how the body works. Quite a few things are permanent, until they are made temporary.

Negative. Death is to be the point of no return. This point is not a constant, nor a point, but a variying sliding scale, making some people seemingly to be brought back to life.

Well I assume if you can revive someone with severe body degradation, it could be called raised from the dead. Restoring the degradation would fall under ressurection.

For the topic at hand. I'm guessing social pressure. For that missionary, telling the truth would be worse than the lie (and with some after-rationalisation, was it really a lie? Wasn't just a more subtile miracle?). For God, he's an understanding God, of course he can see and forgive you for the sin of lying in this exceptional case.

I can buy that.
